Not that erotic

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It's ok for a little titilation but no more than that. I haven't really listen to this genre before but it was slightly weird at times even for someone who considers themselves open minded.

not worth the time.

theres no real story line to any of the stories!! just straight into it... not worth it if you're looking for a book with a bit more depth!!

Rubbish

Totally boring and not erotic in any way whatsoever. Narrator sounds as bored as I was. Impossible to finish.
